So I'm 17 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: happy to that. My kids and they've had a good week. 18 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: You know. We've been down here in southern southern California, 19 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: like halfway between San Diego and Los Angeles and I've 20 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: been taking my son k one go kart racing. Shout 21 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: out to k one you guys are awesome. My son 22 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: set another track record there. He's a sick little race 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: cards right, that's what he wants to do is race 24 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: open wheels when he grows up. He makes me write this. 25 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: Oh dude, he makes me watch this show on Netflix. 26 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: I don't remember what it's called, but like, there's this 27 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: dude named Lewis Hamilton who's like an open wheels F 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: one racer, and we watched this show that was like 29 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: about him and some other drivers too. But my son 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: is like, that's Lewis Hamilton and he has some of 31 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: the quickest reaction time in the world that I'm like, Okay, 32 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: dude's sick. Whatever, man, my. 33 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: Son's got good taste because Lewis Hamilton's not only an 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: amazing race car driver, but he's a cool guy. And 35 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: he dated Nicole Scherzinger, so respect. 36 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: I don't know who that is, but I know Louis 37 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: Hamilton is and he's a lead pussycat doll. Small show. 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: Oh. 39 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: I think she was on my sitcom back in the day. 40 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: My character had like a dirty and all the Pussycat 41 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: dolls were in the dream and they came and did 42 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: like a cameo for the show. Well right out, Lewis Hamilton, 43 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: shout out to you, dude. But anyway, yeah, so we've 44 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: been doing that. We did a miniature golf. My son 45 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: hit two hole in ones. I got one, Haara got one, 46 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: and my daughter Charlotte all got holding ones, but he 47 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: had the most. He kept reminding us, and those are 48 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: like the first couple of days where they were laughing 49 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: again and smiling and giving each other shit and just 50 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: doing normal brother sister stuff instead of worrying, which is 51 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: it sucks to watch your kids stress out and feel 52 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: like there's not too much you can do about it. 53 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: But go karting helps for all those people that need help. 54 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: If your kid's going through something, take that little shit 55 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: go karting, and all of a sudden, all their fears 56 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: go away, and all that anxiety goes away because they're 57 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: going thirty miles an hour in an electric go garden, 58 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: drifting around turns like a stud. We made the most 59 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: of it. Are much more fortunate than other people who 60 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: lost everything that we know. But I'm glad that this 61 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: is finally coming to an end and people can start 62 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: getting back on getting back on the road. You know 63 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: what doesn't stop, though, is motherfucking professional wrestling. Jeff's and 64 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: you know I'm telling the truth when I cuss. If 65 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: I'm not cussing, I'm probably telling you a FID. So 66 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk some pro wrestling today. We appreciate you 67 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: guys tuning in. There's not going to be a Thursday show. 68 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: I only have so much time that I can bust 69 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: these out on, so I'll try to make this one 70 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: as long as we can. Penta if that's okay with you, sir, 71 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: because all Right's sick. So Chad Gable demanded a match 72 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: against a great luchador last week. He said, Adam Pierce, 73 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: I want to match against a great luchador. That's what 74 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: he said. And Adam Pierce said, Oh, I think I 75 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: have someone for you that you may not know. We 76 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: all knew. It was the as Michael Cole said, the 77 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: worst kept secret in professional wrestling. I love that day. 78 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, it's cool that he kind of 79 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: breaks the wall a little bit. That he wasn't allowed 80 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: to do that back in the day, and there were 81 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: a lot of Latinos in the crowd, and a lot 82 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: of wrestling fans in the crowd that knew about his work, 83 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: And you sneaky little fuckers are watching aew because you 84 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: knew his set on mean though, and everybody did it, 85 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: So I don't want to see all that. Do't that, Hey, 86 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: we hate you, we hate you, No, we hate you more. 87 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: You guys like each other. You just don't want to 88 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: admit it. So anyway, pentomate his debut, and Chad Gable, 89 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: who is a legit Olympic athlete is able to sell 90 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: and make people look frigging fantastic, took the craziest move, 91 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: or took the craziest sell off of They called it 92 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: a Mexican Destroyer, and it looked like he bounced off 93 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: his head like two feet in the air, which if 94 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: you watch in slow motion, he's real safe with it 95 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: and his head doesn't even touch, which is insane because 96 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: it looked so brutal. But he bounced up in the 97 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: air off his head. He did a head bounce and 98 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: landed and I literally went holy shit, and the crowd 99 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: then started going holy shit. I didn't even I didn't 100 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: even mean to do it. And then at the end 101 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: of the match, Penta wins the match. Good guy won 102 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: the match. He cut this very emotional promo and thanking 103 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: the ww fans and his family and the people who 104 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: supported him, and then he went full Shinsky Nakamura and 105 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: I love this, and he just started speaking in his 106 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: native tongue in Spanish. There's tons of Latinos Spanish speakers 107 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: that have Netflix, and he just spoke to them for 108 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: like a minute straight, and I thought it was so 109 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: cool they allowed him to do that. I think it's 110 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: so cool they allow Shinseki to do that or shinsk. 111 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: Sorry for adding the extra syllable, but I really like 112 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: how global WWE is and how they're going to have 113 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: a Dutch person on there one day speaking some crazy Dutch. 114 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all have ever heard Dutch, but 115 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: that's the freakiest language I've ever heard, and I bet 116 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: they do that one day. But I thought it was 117 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: so cool. And his look. I know Jeff loves his look, 118 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: but his look is so unique and there's nobody out 119 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: there that talks the way he talks or walks the 120 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: way he walks. He's got that cool stretch that he 121 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: does when he comes out, Like everything about it him 122 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: is unique and it feels special, and I really hope 123 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: and I believe that WW is gonna book him a 124 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: lot better than AEW did. But he's your favorite, Jeff, 125 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: and I've taken up all the time, so please no. 126 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 2: I love his look. I think he's all the things 127 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: I like. He's kind of got a Halloween horror vibe 128 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: to him. He's a lucho, which I love, the flippy 129 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: all that, I love all that, I love the mask. 130 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: He's literally everything I like about a wrestler. 131 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: This match really showed that Chad Gate how valuable Chad 132 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: Gable is. 133 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: Oh my god. 134 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 2: It was a beautiful match, like absolutely like Chad Gable. 135 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: I mean there was a little rust in moments, but 136 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: Chad Gable sold everything. It was absolutely perfect. And I 137 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 2: know you covered it already already, but when he gave 138 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: that speech, it was in Spanish, but it was basically 139 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 2: a beautiful homage to the American dream. You know, he's like, dude, 140 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: it was a Mexican like just a Mexican boy who 141 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: had dreams of doing this thing. And you could see 142 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 2: his family watching him, like and recording. His daughter had 143 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 2: like a tear in her eye and they're like I 144 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: think his whole family was there, but one of his 145 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: daughters was like recording it on his phone and she's cheering. 146 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: I was just like, this is beautiful, Like he's arrived. 147 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: He made it like it's not the WB's any bigger 148 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: than AEW, but this moment was huge. 149 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't be happy. I think everything is great. 150 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: I just hope we keep pushing with it, we keep 151 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: running with it, and we don't have to lose this. 152 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: I think what could be the next Ray Masterial, the 153 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: greatest luchador of all time. 154 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: It shows you that they're definitely looking for him, like 155 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: with the opportunity they gave Dragon Lee, the opportunity they 156 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: gave Santos. You know they blew that well. Yeah, that 157 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: one didn't work so well. But they're definitely trying to 158 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: find like because Ray can't wrestle forever, even though it 159 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: looks like he can. But they gotta find him, and 160 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: I really hope they do. Man, the pentag just came 161 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: off so freaking cool and smooth, and he was hey 162 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: had style like I love his walk, man, where he 163 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: puts like his and out and he has like one 164 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: foot in front of the other and he's like striking. Yeah, 165 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: it's so courish it. Yeah, I liked it a lot. 166 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: So he was awesome. Now, most of you probably prefer 167 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: cm punk to Penta, so we'll talk to some cmpunk too. 168 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: He came out and he now has as well declared 169 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: for the Royal Rumbles. So we got John Cena up 170 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: in there. We got we got cm punk up in there, 171 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: and he came out. He was talking. He does he 172 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: does real talk, probably better than anybody as far as 173 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: like connective tissue between him and the audience. But seth 174 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Rawlins came out and interrupted him, and Sampunk sold big 175 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: on that. He's like, ah, sign up a bitch. Why 176 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: he probably didn't cuts, he's straight edge. Sampunk or seth 177 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: Rollins came out and he had a legit black eye dude, 178 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: and he showed it off. He took the sunglasses off 179 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: and it looked like a fighter at the end of 180 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: a fight when they take their sunglasses off in the 181 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: in the post fight interviews and things like that, and 182 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: that shit makes it just gets me going because I'm like, yeah, 183 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: look how tough he is, Look how badass that looks. 184 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: And it wasn't like fake makeup. He legit had one, 185 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: and then he announces himself for the Royal Rumble, and 186 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: then Drew McIntyre comes out and says, screw both, you bitches. 187 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm the freaking man and I'm gonna be in the 188 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: Royal Rumble too. Now. The only reason I'm bringing the 189 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: segment up, it wasn't like a world moving segment, was 190 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: because of the story that they can now tell in 191 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: the Royal Rumble. Because if you remember everybody last year, 192 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre was the one that injured cmpunk in the 193 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: Royal Rumble. He tore his tricep when he put him 194 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: in that future shock DDT holder. Maybe it was a pedigree. 195 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: It's the setups the same way. But he jacked up 196 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: cm punk and put him on the shelf, and he 197 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: was glad that he did it. He had that great 198 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: Scottish axe. I prayed to gold I would do it, 199 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: and I did, And uh what I see happening. There's 200 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: no way Drew McIntyre's winning the Royal Rumble, not if 201 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: cm Punk's in it. And I won't bet against Sampunk 202 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: ever again. But now you get a cool story where 203 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: I think cm punk might try to do the same 204 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: move to Drew and that'll like get him in the 205 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 1: future shock DDT or the Pedigrew whatever is gonna be 206 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: and smash him and then throw him out of the ring. 207 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: So keep your eyes open for the story that those 208 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: two dudes will get to tell, because I think that'll 209 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: be one of the coolest ones in the Rumble, which 210 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: is still a long ways a way, I know, but 211 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: I just get excited because Royal Rumble's my favorite pay 212 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: per view in the world. Is it yours favorite too? 213 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: It's the best, Dude, I love a gimmick. It's the 214 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: most gimmicky pay per view you can have. It's fun. 215 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: They tell so many stories in that match, and they 216 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: give so many people an opportunity to get over, and 217 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: so many people do, like everyone from brock Lessner to 218 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: Kofi Kingston where he just never touches the floor, Like 219 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: every single time, it was always like, oh he landed 220 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: on this guy's fucking head and he danced through the 221 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: audience and they crowdsurfed him back into the ring. Oh 222 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: my god, he's still in the match, and then he 223 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: gets thrown out by brock Lesendar later. But like, everybody 224 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: gets a chance to shine, and I've always loved that show, 225 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: so I'm super excited for it. Then we get a 226 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: little yeet down because Gunther lays down his challenge and 227 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: he demands respect for his world title. We all respect you, Gunther. 228 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: I don't know why you're demanding it. Like you, everybody 229 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: loves you. Even the people that hate you respect you, 230 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: so you don't have to demand it. You could just say, hey, thanks, 231 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: thanks guys, thanks bros, thanks for the respect. And then 232 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: here comes Jayu. So he's one of my favorites. I 233 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: remember I was on that podcast that Bully Ray does 234 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: and he was asking me who I thought like the 235 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: biggest star war was going to be, and I even 236 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: said jay Us. And this was back when he was, 237 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: like I think, still in the Bloodline and everybody kind 238 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: of was like, oh wait, I wasn't expecting that. And look, 239 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: this dude's promos and his entrances still are getting huge 240 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: pops and huge results and everybody loves him. And now 241 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy we can get into SmackDown later, but Jimmy is 242 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: now having that similar vibe now that he's healthy, and 243 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: his promo from backstage I thought was even better than 244 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: Jay's entrance because he got everybody so hyped up. But 245 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: both those guys are doing great fucking work. Great crowd work. 246 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: That's a comedian term and means something different in wrestling, 247 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: but they're great with the crowd. The interaction that he literally, 248 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: here's how smart Jayus is and then I'll move on. 249 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: He literally got rid of the what chant and just 250 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: replaced it with yeat and he uses it and he 251 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: works moment to moment and sentence to sentence, and instead 252 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: of yelling what, they're into him and they're yelling yeat, 253 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: and it gives the audience their opportunity to be a 254 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: part of the show, which they really want. And it 255 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: doesn't in this case destroy the wrestler's ability to get over. 256 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: In fact, it actually helped the wrestler get over, and 257 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: I think that's the first time anyone's ever been able 258 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: to do that. So I just want to put a 259 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: little shine on him and show just how smart he is. 260 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: Whether it was intentional or not. I think it was 261 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: intentional because he waits for it now and they give 262 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: it to him. But he's he's mastered the what and 263 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: he is now the What's owner. He's though he's the 264 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: What's daddy, and the what has no power over him anymore. 265 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: But I think that's the only wrestler besides Stone Cold 266 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: that can claim that. Anyway, what else? 267 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: The yeat is good. You know what's not good? The 268 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 2: no yeat that didn't work good. 269 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: No yeat did not play yet it was not. The 270 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: second I heard it, I rolled my eyes. I was 271 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: god damn it. But yeat works. We like yeat. Yat 272 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: is good, we like the Yeah, you're right, No yeat 273 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: was bad. That was Hey, look man, they're not all 274 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: going to be golden eggs. So anyway, Gunther and j 275 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: are going to fight. That'll be a good fight. Damian 276 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: Priest and Finn Balor had a crazy ass street fight. 277 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: The Judgment Day has fallen apart. Finn Baalor doesn't respect 278 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: Live Live, doesn't respect Dominic. Everybody's treating Dominic like a 279 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: piece of shit. He even brought flowers for Live and 280 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: She's like, no, I'm not mad. I did that girl 281 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: thing that you know you girls do. No, I'm not mad. 282 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: I'm just not going to communicate and get even angrier 283 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: on the inside, and then I'm gonna get pissed at 284 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: you for something dumb later on. But it has nothing 285 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: to do with what we're actually pissed off about. 286 00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: You. 287 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: Girls shouldn't do that back in the day, dude, guys remember, 288 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: like girls would always I guess girls still do it. 289 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: Girls fight emotionally and dudes would just fight physically. And 290 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: then you would see, like a year later, the girls 291 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: would never be friends with someone they talked about, but 292 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: the dudes who fought would be like best bros. Like 293 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: girls got to just punch each other in the face. 294 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: It's way easier. We got to get back to those days, 295 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: Jeff simp much simpler. All right, let's move on WWE 296 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: Friday Night Smack Sound. Here we go Raymisterio in San 297 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: Diego and the crowd goes frigging bananas. Ray goes out there, 298 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: cuts his promo. He gets an extra two points on 299 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: the promo because he's in his hometown. He's more comfortable, 300 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: more confident. The crowd loves everything he says. And Kevin 301 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: Owens comes out. Kevin Owens, who basically has like the 302 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: best line in wrestling every single week, no matter what, 303 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: like and it's never anything that was written for him. 304 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: It's always something that he just comes up with. But 305 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: he came out and he's so He's so good at 306 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: being a justified heel. He always has what he feels 307 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: is a legitimate reason to feel the way he feels, 308 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: and those feelings are dictating his actions, and those actions 309 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: are just because of the feelings behind him. And he 310 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: goes out there and he says, Ray, I respect you, 311 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: and the crowd's like, wait, we're supposed to hate you, Kevin, 312 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: and he's like, just hold on, let me finish.

And the energy in this segment 328 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: is kind of low right here, and you're wondering how 329 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: this is gonna work, and it's all on Kevin to 330 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: kind of bring the energy back in this and he's like, wait, 331 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: what did you say?

He misses Ray Ray gets 336 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: him in the position for the six one nine, one 337 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: of Jeff's favorite finishers, and Kevin rolls out, he grabs 338 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: his belt and he cuts what the best line in 339 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: wrestling of the week. You have to watch it. I 340 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: won't say it, and he backs out of there, and 341 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: then Ray and him get a match for later that night, 342 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: which is going to be the main event, and Kevin 343 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: gets his dream match against raymys stereo. I love Kevin Owens. 344 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets as much love on 345 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: other shows as he does on this, but I'm sure 346 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: he has. Like he's you, I don't pay attention to 347 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: the internet as much as you do, and our producer does. 348 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: But correct me if I'm wrong. Kevin Owens is universally loved, yes, yeah, 349 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: but underrated in my opinion. Okay, so it's it's not 350 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: just me. 351 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 2: Real wrestling fans give him all his flowers, but I 352 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: feel like this like the second layer, like whatever that 353 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 2: second layer or third layer or fourth layer of wrestling fans. 354 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 2: They all just want to see the big shiny starle 355 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 2: Cody Rhodes this, see him punk that. I feel like 356 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 2: Kevin is almost forgot a lot of times. Oh, I see, 357 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 2: that's how I feel about it. I feel like he's underrated. 358 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: Nah, he's the man, dude. If people aren't hip to Kevin, 359 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: you got to start watching his promos on YouTube or 360 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: whatever whatever format you do it because there's such next level. 361 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Even before he was in WWE, they were pretty damn good. 362 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: He's much more refined now because he has a lot 363 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: more experience. Yeah, well, and he asked you, but your 364 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: your performances on stage are much more refined than when 365 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: you started. My acting's more refined the way I started. 366 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, he's just smarter with with how he does things. 367 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: But yes, in the corporation, he has to exist under 368 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: these sort of corporate rules, but he does it really 369 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: well and he gets close to the lines sometimes sometimes 370 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: he plays it super safe man, but he still is 371 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: always gonna let you into the business a little bit. 372 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: And I think that's why the hardcore fans love him 373 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: so much, because he'll do that shit Eddie Murphy used 374 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: to do in movies where he kind of like look 375 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: in the camera for one second and be like, is 376 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 1: this happening right now? Yeah, Okay, I think it is. 377 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: He's very similar with his vibe without looking into the camera. 378 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 2: MJF, Paul Hayman, Kevin Steen, all the best mic work 379 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 2: guys like sorry, Kevin Owens. If you will go to 380 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: YouTube watch some of his old promos. 381 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: God, they're hilarious. Yeah, and danger. He's more refined. 382 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 2: He's also more censored because he's on TV, he's on Netflix, 383 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: he's on USA. But when you get to watch him, 384 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 2: just beat, just go rogue because it's just some indie 385 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: thing and he can like it's insane how funny he is. 386 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: And it's all improv and it's just it's just a 387 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: free flowing state. It's like listening to a freestyle rapper, 388 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: like just kind of hear a beat and go off. 389 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: And it's not something they planned. They just kind of 390 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: had a direction they wanted to go. 391 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: He's talking about sucking Dix and he goes and these 392 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: boys don't do that because they're good boys. But I know, 393 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: I'm a piece of shit, and I like him because 394 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 2: he's a piece of shit. N Like, he's just like 395 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 2: it's I knew. 396 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: You were going to bring up this promo at the 397 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: moment I mentioned Kevin Owens. By the way, it's everybody 398 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: a time, it's everybody's favorite Kevin Due. I sold sixty 399 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: shirts tonight, but I should have sold a hundred. I mean, 400 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: it's amazing. Blames the crowd for his lack of sales. 401 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: That's crazy. 402 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: Also, and also he takes like a little moment he goes, 403 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 2: I sold sixty shirts tonight. That's pretty good. It's pretty good. 404 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty good, but I should have sold 405 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: one hundred. Like it's just as the greatest is so good. 406 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: How are you liking WWE on on Netflix? By the way, 407 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: I was supposed to ask you that earlier, but I 408 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: forgot I think it's great. 409 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know how you could do 410 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 2: better than the best, you know, so like sometimes it 411 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: feels like you got Rass SmackDown, Ross smacked on Ross Bide. 412 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: And then this amazing pay per view. 413 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: Well, if they're pulling out all the stops for these 414 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: raws and smackdowns, it's gonna be hard to like they're 415 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 2: they're definitely elevating their game, but they're putting themselves in 416 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: an interesting position because these raws feel like pay per 417 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: view level of effort, and so I'm happy about it. 418 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: All wrestling fans should be happy about. It's been really, 419 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: really good. It'll be interesting to see how it sustains. Yeah, 420 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 2: that will be interesting. I think Royal Rumble will sustain 421 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: just fine because it is such a gimmick driven pay 422 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: per view and they don't do things like that on 423 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 2: a weekly basis where you have this. 424 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 1: One epic match with forty well it used to be thirty, 425 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: but with forty professional wrestlers all going for you know, 426 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: one kind of thing. So that should hold up. But 427 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: I wonder if that's if with the other ones that 428 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: aren't like hell in a cell the ones that are, 429 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: you know, heavily gimmicked. I wonder if that'll affect it, 430 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: if it'll just feel like a Monday night raw. That's 431 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: an interesting speculation, sir. Yeah, but it's good. 432 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 2: It's a good problem to have that they're just giving 433 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 2: us such great wrestling that I'm worried if it's gonna 434 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: that's a great We're in a good place. 435 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say about a Dubs bro. 436 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the matches are really cool, but there's not 437 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: a lot of stories going on right now outside of 438 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: MJF and Jeff Jarrett. 439 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about that promo. You know, I don't 440 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 2: know if that's called a promo with those two going 441 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: back and forth promos, you. 442 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: Know, arguing what I think, it's really hard to hang 443 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: with MJF if you're not ready to go with MJF. 444 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: I think he's he's so good on the mic that 445 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: even though he's selling your stuff, if you're not real 446 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: sharp with it, it's just he's gonna look like he's 447 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: going a million miles an hour, and you're gonna look 448 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: like your car doesn't go that fast. So it was 449 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: I thought it was tough. Jeff Jarrett had moments where 450 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: he slung him with a couple but it like took 451 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: it took longer for him to cut MJF than it 452 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: takes MJF to cut him. And so to me, and 453 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it was supposed to be like that, 454 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: and maybe MJF was supposed to win that argument, but 455 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: to me, it's just it's really hard to compete with him. 456 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: Like cmpunk can do it, Adam Cole did it, you know, 457 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: will Osprey did it. He's had guys that could go 458 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: back and forth with him, but not everyone is at that, 459 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: and that's okay, and not everyone has to be a 460 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: ten on the microphone. But it's just tough when he's 461 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: cutting you to pieces and your cuts aren't as deep. 462 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: So so that's what I would say about that without 463 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to like dump on it. What are 464 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: the rules of wrestling? 465 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: As a writer, as a guy who's been in the business. 466 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: When MJF was delivering his insults and opinions and digs, 467 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: which I love that he called him slap nuts made 468 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 2: me so slap nuts. He didn't make a meal of it, 469 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: he just popped it in there, which I thought was great. 470 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: What are the rules because Double j just started laughing. 471 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: He kept just laughing. Well, like MJFF was doing his 472 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: thing kind of like this is stupid. It was very 473 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: dismissive kind of laughing. But is there some sort of 474 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 2: rule for the babyface to how he's supposed to listen 475 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: to the insults? 476 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: Well, I mean the heel is supposed to sell the 477 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: insults and the baby face should let him bounce off. 478 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,239 Speaker 1: So in that regard, I think Jeff Jared's in the right, 479 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: Like he's he's trying to allow these bullets to bounce 480 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: off whatever armor he's built up over the years, which 481 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: we would imagine would be pretty thick because he's been 482 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: in the game longer than just about anybody. And MJF 483 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: you would see him sell big when Jeff Jared would 484 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: talk about his mom and his dad and that's it, 485 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: he's like, oh my god, could you So I thought 486 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: in that regard, they they did their jobs. I just 487 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: think it's tough, you know, like you'll see movies with like, 488 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, really special actors and oh, here's a better 489 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: way to do it, like and I know you did. 490 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: Last summer, I had the least experience of all four 491 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: of us, and so there were scenes that I watch 492 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: in retrospect and like studying it and seeing where I 493 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: could improve, where I'm like, man, you can tell they're 494 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: all better than me. And I hated that. So I 495 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: worked really hard at my craft so that I could 496 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: catch up. And I think sometimes if you're not as 497 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: strong as the other person on the mic, it doesn't 498 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: always come off as a shine, you know what I mean, 499 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: They just come off as that much better than you. 500 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: And that's a risk that you have to take as 501 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: an artist. And sometimes it works out, and sometimes, you know, 502 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: it looks a little like, okay, this, he's not as 503 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: good as so, and so I don't want to like 504 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: throw on the actors under the bus, so I'll just 505 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: throw myself under the bus. But that's how I felt, 506 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: and I know what you did. I was like, man, 507 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: they've all been doing this since they were kids, and 508 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: I've been doing this for three and a half weeks. 509 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: How am I going to pull this off? And there 510 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: are scenes where I just didn't, and so I busted 511 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: my ass to make sure that didn't happen again. And 512 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: it's you know, it took a long It's been a 513 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: lifetime work to improve and constantly try and get better. 514 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 2: It felt like that for me too, And I actually 515 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: liked all the little insults, not just because they were funny, 516 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: but I feel like they're pretty accurate. He's like, that's what, 517 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 2: that's the last face you see before a wrestling company dies. 518 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: That was a great line, by the way, great line. 519 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 2: Like I said, he did the slab nuts thing, which 520 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 2: I appreciated. 521 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: I love that he went after his wife. I thought 522 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: that was all great. 523 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 2: And then the owen Hart moment felt like the big 524 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 2: crescendo of like the insult of all insults, and then 525 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 2: like it felt kind of real. I know it wasn't 526 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: I know that he wouldn't have been able to do 527 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 2: it without getting the approval of Double j. 528 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure. And Joss is the best on the mic. 529 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: Like it's just he's just really, really sick, and his 530 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: brain is built to talk shit in professional wrestling. He 531 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: was not meant to be a fucking finance manager. He 532 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: wasn't built for construction, although he's a buff dude. He 533 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: was built to be a professional wrestler. And he found 534 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: his colleague and all of you need to find your 535 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: calling too.
